Learn New Skills

Tae Kwon Do is a highly effective workout that can transform your body, overall health, flexibility and mental health. By practicing this sport, you learn self-discipline, confidence, respect and much more. Tae Kwon Do is not only a sport, but it is also a self-defense art. You'll learn many techniques and skills that can be helpful to keep yourself safe if a situation should arise. 

There are tons of benefits that come with practicing Tae Kwon Do, but the greatest is that it is for all ages and abilities! We offer this traditional martial art at our Hayes-Taylor, Ragsdale, Reidsville, and Spears YMCAs. You can check the details of each Y below and choose the one that is most convenient to you.
